Had 5 sightings of Western Scrub-jays at Kent Ponds this afternoon (Sunday,
Green River Natural Resource Area) while walking the Puget Power Trail. One
was posing on the fence about 75 yards west of the south tower and it was
being harassed by an Anna's Hummingbird. The second was about 30 yards west
of the footbridge posing at the top of a willow and it had two hazelnuts in
his mouth (pretty talented to hold two nuts at the same time). The other
three were on the east side of 64th Ave. South.
